Ok, but where do we stop? Is Red Hat banning packages from distribution
and content that is illegal in Russia or Italy? Would it be a good idea
to ask the user on installation where he lives? The installer than could
than have a different setup for different countries (another sort of
localization). I do not like this direction, because things get split
up. Debian also had repos they called "non-us". They had higher
enrcyption bit sizes etc.. Did anyone consider that?
